2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
^aBut the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.

3 ^aThe eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.

4 A¹ wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

5 ^aA fool despises his father’s instruction,
^bBut he who¹ receives correction is prudent.

6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.
